I’ve been having really weird isp problems all day. Some sites seem to be down and others up (generally the ones I want are down 🙂

Anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong?

My isp’s website is down, probably not a good sign.

I can get onto city of heroes website, but not their forums or the game itself.

Google news doesn’t want to come up, and some other forums also (that I clicked on using google search which is still working for me.)

Everything is a bit sluggish, but its odd how random this is. I was thinking maybe a port blocked or some sort of spyware, checked with Adaware and all I had was cookies.

Any clues? Should I just call comcast?
